Obesity, fat distribution and infertility
Maturitas, 2006In both sexes, obesity, particularly the abdominal obesity phenotype, may impair fertility. This adverse effect appears to be mainly related to disorders of sex hormone secretion and/or metabolism, leading in turn to a condition of relative hyperandrogenism in obese women and of hypotestosteronemia (and, in some cases, a true hypogonadotropic ...

1989
Obesity has long been recognized as a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus, particularly in later life, and in young women it is widely thought to predispose towards impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes in pregnancy. This review tackles related questions but does not address obstetric issues or the management of the overweight during

Effects of the Menopause Transition on Body Fatness and Body Fat Distribution
Obesity Research, 1998AbstractObjective: The menopause transition increases cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk, partly because of the adverse effects of estrogen deficiency on the plasma lipid‐lipoprotein profile and cardiovascular function. This increased cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk may also be partially mediated by increased body fat, increased ...

Infant and Child Growth and Fatness and Fat Distribution in Guatemalan Adults
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1999To examine whether poor growth in utero or young childhood is associated with adult abdominal fatness in a developing country context, the authors analyzed prospectively collected data on 372 female and 161 male Guatemalans measured as children between 1969 and 1977 and remeasured as adults in 1988-1989 (men and women) and 1991-1994 (women only ...

Effect of intensity of physical activity on body fatness and fat distribution
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1990To evaluate the effect of intensity of physical activity on body fatness and fat distribution, observations of 1366 women and 1257 men who participated in the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey were analyzed. Subjects were tested for energy expenditure of leisure-time activities and estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), body fatness was measured by ...
